A SUSPICIOUS BREED IBD

Sinopse

Low Country dog walker Andi Grace Scott is about to get married, but sheâÇÖll have to get a killer to say 'I did it' before she can say 'I do' . . .áWith her wedding fast approaching and her plans to open a dog shelter underway, Andi Grace can barely find a free moment. Then she learns that her favorite local vet may have been roped into a crooked fundraising scheme meant to help animals, and worse still, her wedding photographer-a good friend who may have had firsthand knowledge of the scheme-is murdered. Determined to find justice for the victim and root out whoever is behind the scam, Andi Grace puts her nose to the ground to sniff out the clues.áNo sooner does she begin compiling a list of suspects than she uncovers an unscrupulous music producer pressuring a friendâÇÖs talented daughter, and a haphazard dog breeding operation that may be endangering animals. With so many unsavory characters cropping up at every turn, Andi Grace enlists the help of some equally clever friends to ensnare them. But just as she finds the evidence that ties everything together, the culprit finds itâÇÖs time to kill her before she can tie the knot . . .áPraise for the Books of Jackie Layton:á'Kept me guessing till the end.
